Psalmowo 50
1 Asaf ƒe ha. Mawu ŋusẽtɔ, Yehowa ƒo nu heyɔ takpekpe na anyigba la tso agudzedze va se ɖe esime ɣe ɖo to.
A Psalm. Of Asaph. The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.
2 Mawu klẽ tso Zion le eƒe anidzedze blibo la me.
From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.
3 Míaƒe Mawu la gbɔna, ahom le tutum le eŋgɔ, dzo le nu bim le eŋgɔ, eye mazi ɖoɖoe o.
Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.
4 Eɖi ʋɔnu, eye wòyɔ dziƒo kple anyigba ne wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu eƒe dukɔ,
His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:
5 “Miƒo nye ame kɔkɔewo nu ƒu nam, ame siwo bla nu kplim kple akpedavɔsa.”
Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings.
6 Dziƒo ɖe gbeƒã eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye, elabena Mawu ŋutɔe nye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la. (Sela)
And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah)
7 “See, o nye dukɔ, mele nu ƒo ge, O! Israel, maɖu ɖasefo ɖe ŋuwò, elabena nyee nye Mawu, wò Mawu la.
Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.
8 Nyemeka mo na wò ɖe wò akpedavɔsa alo numevɔsa siwo le ŋkunye me ɖaa la ta o.
I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me.
9 Nyemehiã nyitsu tso wò nyikpo me, alo gbɔ̃wo tso wò gbɔ̃kpo me o,
I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;
10 elabena avemelãwo katã tɔnye wonye, kple nyi siwo le togbɛ akpewo dzi.
For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 Menya xevi ɖe sia ɖe si le towo dzi, eye nuwɔwɔ ɖe sia ɖe si le gbe me la tɔnyee wonye.
I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.
12 Ne dɔe le wuyem la, nyemagblɔe na wò o, elabena xexea me kple nu siwo katã le eme la nye tɔnye.
If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.
13 Ɖe meɖua nyilã alo noa gbɔ̃wo ƒe ʋua?
Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink?
14 “Mitsɔ akpedavɔsawo na Mawu, eye mixe miaƒe adzɔgbeɖefewo na Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la.
Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;
15 Miyɔm le xaxagbe, maɖe mi, eye miade bubu ŋutinye.”
Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.
16 Ke Mawu le gbɔgblɔm na ame vɔ̃ɖi la be: “Mɔ ka nèkpɔ be nàxlẽ nye sewo afia, alo alé nye nubabla la ɖe nu?
But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?
17 Wò la èlé fu nye nufiame, eye nètsɔ nye nyawo ƒu gbe ɖe megbe.
Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.
18 Ne èkpɔ fiafitɔ la, èwɔa ɖeka kplii, eye nèdea ha kple ahasitɔwo.
When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives.
19 Nya vlowo doa go le nuwò, eye wò aɖe blea ame.
You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit.
20 Ègblɔa nya tsia tsitre ɖe nɔviwò ŋu, eye nèƒoa ɖi dawòvi ŋutsu.
You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son.
21 Nu siawoe nye nu siwo nèwɔ hafi mezi ɖoɖoe, eye nèsusu be ɖeko mele abe ye ene, gake maka mo na wò, eye mado asi ɖe mo na wò.
These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.
22 “Bu esia ŋuti, wò ame si ŋlɔ Mawu be, ne menye nenema o la, mavuvu wò kakɛkakɛ, eye ame aɖeke maxɔ wò le asinye o.
Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:
23 Ame si na akpedavɔsa la, de bubu ŋunye, eye wòta mɔ be mafia Mawu ƒe ɖeɖee.”
Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.
